Hi!

I'm looking at this problem too, and what I've come up with is that

commands.formvalue(formnum, fieldname, value) is insufficent for the 
task of selecting, and deselecting, checkboxes.

The issue lays in that the action needs the following data:
What Form?
What Checkbox Name?
What Checkbox Value?
On or Off?

The API as it stands will select or deselect a single, or, if we let

commands.formvalue(formnum, fieldname, 'foo')

work, will allow selection, but not de-selection, of checkboxes.

Going back to the hackish API that PBP used to use, we could allow:

commands.formvalue(formnum, fieldname, '+foo')
commands.formvalue(formnum, fieldname, '-foo')

as well.

Please see attached patch and tests.
